Theatre and Mind: 33

Product Information

These digital avatars, or ‘ABBAtars’, were created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). This is a visual effects company founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas. The band performed in motion capture suits, with cameras scanning their body movements as well as their facial expressions. Overall sound levels are reduced throughout – edgier music sections and the most extreme sub bass have been smoothed out to be less intense. Our focus on mental health and well-being aims to extend throughout our production processes to support our performers, team members, and audiences. Stufish partner Alicia Tkacz said the project “provided the perfect blend of architecture and entertainment, allowing us to create an amazing immersive experience for the audience that has never been seen before”.

Theme parks are inherently immersive destinations, housing detailed themed attractions and lands. But parks from the likes of Disney and Universal are increasingly enhancing their offerings and adding an extra layer to them, whether they’re gamifying the experience or utilising experiential technologies. Other LBE venues are using tools such as sound, artificial intelligence (AI) and projection mapping to enhance their attractions. Even hotels and museums are cashing in on the immersive entertainment trend. Fisher describes AREA15, an experiential art and entertainment complex, as “an imagination box”. Highlights include a Japanese maple tree and canopy with more than 5,000 LED lights. There is also an immersive audio and visual experience inside a 360-degree projection-mapped room.

Councillor Janet Campbell, deputy cabinet member for families, health and social care, “I am pleased that we have the opportunity to use the arts in Croydon to explore these powerful issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing. Around one in six adults experiences a common mental health problem at any one time. A deluge of life issues, or simply one incident like feeling lonely or isolated, bereavement or unemployment can negatively impact on a person’s mental wellbeing. Our vision is to work in an arts sector where there is equal opportunity for performers with learning disabilities: a world where performers are trained, respected and employed equally, and feature every day on our stages and screens. Our Mindful Photography and Walking combines photography, nature, and an enjoyable variety of walks. When we are mindful, we are more aware of our surroundings. Photography can support us in slowing down our minds and really noticing things. After the Broadway run, The Play That Goes Wrong transfers to an Off-Broadway location. Performances begin at New World Stages on 11 Feb. 2019. 2019: Mischief Theatre’s Groan Ups begins West End residency at Vaudeville Theatre Our Theatre for Wellbeing course works towards building a group of individuals into an ensemble; working on the principles of teamwork, openness, mutual respect and playfulness. Drama is a means of using our own experience to understand the experience of other people. This principle will underpin the course, working with play texts alongside participants own experience to explore universal narratives around mental health and wellbeing and how we can find comfort, solace and a positive way forward from our shared experience. Drama skills will be developed to build participant resilience, learning through a variety of skills and techniques that will appeal to diverse learning styles. Each week will build participants confidence in themselves and in the safety and support of the ensemble.’Speaking at blooloop’s Festival of Innovation in December 2023, Martin Howe of Dapper Labs explained: “ Experiential technologies are technologies that can, with the right creativity and content, enhance in some way the visitor experience.” York Carers Centre, in partnership with York Mind, continue to offer an online monthly support group for families and friends affected by someone else’s substance misuse and / or gambling.

For those who love painting or creating, our Autumn and Winter arts and craft group is the perfect way for you to enjoy the lead up to the festive period. Casa Batlló is one of the most famous architectural works by the modernist architect Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona.
